Age 737

A low class Saiyan warrior was fighting his way through other low class warriors in the atmosphere of Planet Vegeta, the homeworld of the Saiyan Race. Meanwhile, his son was being sent away to another planet.

Frieza laughed as he watched the fight, "It's just like these Saiyan monkeys to fight on. They don't realize that no matter how strong they are, they're biting the hand that feeds them. I wonder how they like fireworks. Well, I'll just see how much they like them!" before charging up a Supernova attack and sending it towards the planet

Meanwhile on a nearby ship...

The warriors on the ship watched as Frieza turned Planet Vegeta into little more than an asteroid field. One of them said, "My lord, it seems your brother Frieza is destroying the Planet Vegeta."

An alien looking similar to Frieza lowered down in his hoverchair and said, "Very impressive, killing off a bunch of monkeys. Any liquored-up hillbilly with a shotgun could've done that at the zoo."

The warrior noticed, "Sir, there's one ship that got away! We're within range to destroy-"

The tall alien said, "No. Intercept it and bring it aboard."

The warrior asked, "Lord Cooler, you want one of those Saiyans on our ship?"

Cooler nodded, "Call it a hunch, but I have a good feeling about that Saiyan. Never underestimate anyone, not even the weak. With proper training, he could easily become a great ally to the Cooler Force. Salza, activate the tractor beam and have that pod brought aboard."

The elite warrior Salza nodded, "Yes Lord Cooler! Right away!" before activating the ship's tractor beam and bringing the pod holding a Saiyan infant in it into the ship. As the pod was brought aboard, Salza opened it to reveal the Saiyan inside before picking him up by his tail and bringing him to Cooler. "What do you want to do with him my lord?"

Cooler looked the child over and said, "He shows potential. The three of you will be training, and don't be afraid to get rough. Just stop when he faces the threat of death, and when he does, put him in a healing tank. One last thing, don't grab him by his tail" before taking the child from Salza's hand and placing him on the ground.

Salza nodded, "As you say my lord." before looking to the child and saying, "Follow me." before walking off, followed by Dore and Neiz.

As the three of them walked to the training room, Dore grumbled, "I can't believe we have to train a little brat like him. At least we can get rough with him, Cooler only said we couldn't kill him."

Neiz nodded, "Yeah, there's that. But like Lord Cooler said, we shouldn't underestimate any opponent. Even though he's a pint sized brat right now, with our training, he could easily become a great warrior."

Salza nodded, "Right, who knows, he could be the fourth member of the Armored Squadron." when Neiz and Dore looked at him like he was crazy, he laughed, "I'm only joking you two! Although... he is a Saiyan, there's no telling how strong he can become. I know enough about Saiyans to know that anyone who believes these apes have limits is a fool. Lord Cooler knows this too, but if we train him properly, the idea of betraying us wouldn't even exist."

They walked into a training room where Salza thought for a moment, "Let's at least get an idea of how hard we should work him." before taking out a small canister with seeds. He took one of them from the canister and placed it on the floor before dropping a few drips of liquid on the seed. He looked at the Saiyan child and told him, "You're first test will be to kill this." as a Saibaman grew from the seed and growled at the Saiyan.

The Saiyan, while inexperienced, did quite well against the little 'mutant freak' as Salza called them. As the child ripped the Saibaman's head off, Dore cheered, "Whoo! For a half pint he sure know how to fight! I like this kid already!"

Neiz nodded, "Yeah, he's no pushover, despite how puny he is."

"One Saibaman? The kid may be young, but you needn't go that easy on him." Cooler said as he walked up to watch the test to see how strong the young Saiyan was. "His name seems to be Kakarot, so we'll call him that instead of monkey. Treat him with respect and loyalty, and he will repay with his own respect and loyalty." he thought for a moment and smirked lightly, "Get a Copyman in there, I want to see how he reacts to fighting himself."

Salza nodded, "Yes my lord." before growing a Copyman, which started at a black Saibaman, but quickly took the form of the Saiyan child he was about to fight.

Kakarot growled and was barely able to speak, but got the word, "Faker!" out before rushing at the Copymon and attacking it brutally, even more than how he had fought the earlier Saibaman.

Suddenly, the Copyman grabbed a hold of Kakarot, about to self-destruct. As it snickered, Cooler stepped into the room and crushed the Copyman's head in his hand and asked the Saiyan, "You're not hurt, are you?" before thinking to himself, "What's gotten into me? I'm actually showing concern for him!" before shaking his head and walking out of the room, "Continue training him against Saibamen, and if any of them attempt to self-destruct, kill them right away."

The three members of the Armored Squadron nodded and said in union, "Understood!" before Cooler left.

Salza expressed his surprise, "Lord Cooler seems to have grown attached to the kid."

And so, the young Saiyan who was able to escape Planet Vegeta's destruction has caught the interest of Freeza's older brother Cooler. He has become an official recruit of the Cooler Force, and will be trained by the most elite warriors under Cooler's command, the Armored Squadron. Will leaving the Saiyan child alive be a mistake that will cost Cooler his life, or will he become his most powerful and loyal warrior? That tale begins now...
